Gear transmission having a gear wheel arranged on a hollow shaft and wind power plant
A gear transmission having at least one gear wheel stage, wherein at least one of the gear wheels is fastened coaxially on a hollow shaft that is rotatably mounted in a transmission housing via at least two shaft bearings. An outside-radial stage offset is formed on the hollow shaft as a seat for a broad rim gear wheel that approaches the plant radially on the inside.
1. A gearwheel transmission having at least one gearwheel stage in which at least one of the gearwheels is fastened coaxially on a hollow shaft which is rotatably mounted in a transmission housing by at least two shaft bearings, wherein the hollow shaft has integrally formed on it a radially external step shoulder as a seat for a bandage-like gearwheel which comes into contact therewith radially at the inside.
2. The gearwheel transmission as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the inner wall of the hollow shaft has a ring-shaped or ring-segment-shaped recess in the region of the gearwheel which surrounds in the manner of a bandage.
3. The gearwheel transmission as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the recess has a longitudinal sectional profile coordinated with the loading of the hollow shaft caused by the tooth engagement of the gearwheel.
4. The gearwheel transmission as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the longitudinal sectional profile of the recess is asymmetrical.
5. The gearwheel transmission as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the shoulder height of the step shoulder is greater than the average tube thickness of the hollow shaft.
6. The gearwheel transmission as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the hollow shaft is produced by primary forming from a cast material.
7. The gearwheel transmission as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the hollow shaft is produced from ductile iron.
8. The gearwheel transmission as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the ductile iron is GGG40.3.
9. The gearwheel transmission as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the hollow shaft is produced by a deformation process.
10. The gearwheel transmission as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the hollow shaft is produced from a tempering steel.
11. The gearwheel transmission as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the hollow shaft is produced from a C45 steel.
12. The gearwheel transmission as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the hollow shaft is produced by die forging.
13. The gearwheel transmission as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the gearwheel is composed of a case-hardened steel.
14. The gearwheel transmission as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the bandage-like gearwheel is fixed on the hollow shaft by a shaft-hub connection.
15. The gearwheel transmission as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the ratio of toothing diameter of the gearwheel to shaft diameter of the associated hollow shaft is greater than 1.5.
16. The gearwheel transmission as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the gearwheel stage is composed of gearwheels configured as helically toothed spur gears.
17. The gearwheel transmission as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the gearwheel stage is configured, with regard to the dimensioning of the gearwheels; and of the respectively associated shafts, for powers of greater than 1 kilowatt.
18. A wind power plant for generating electrical energy, in which wind power plant a gearwheel transmission as claimed in claim 1 steps up a low rotational speed of a wind-powered rotor into a higher rotational speed suitable for an electric generator.
